ROSE Awards: 10 Cumbrian spots win for world-class service

The ROSE Awards recognise the accommodation providers across England who provide visitors with the warmest of welcomes.

They celebrate the establishments where the owners, management and employees, irrespective of their star rating, style or type of accommodation, provide outstanding experiences for their customers.

Cumbria is one of the most ideal destinations for Brits as it offers a plethora of adventure, accommodation, scenic views and now, quite clearly, hospitality.

A lot of big businesses often reap these types of awards, which is what makes the ROSE Awards so special.

One of the most photographed buildings in the UK, Bridge House in Ambleside has stood since the late 17th century.

It has had many different uses over the years, and was once home to a family of eight!
